I was ignorant to the concept of a Homestay when I booked this accommodation. My room was as perfect and clean. However I shared a living room with three other rooms and those guests stayed up making a noise until after 01:00 on my first night (when I had to get up at 03:30 for a sunrise tour). Everything after that night was excellent. I stayed in a 4 bedroom apartment in a lovely complex, with the dining provided in another larger duplex apartment with an amazing view of the Ganga Hotel River. The staff were fantastic and very attentive. And they helped out with my taxi to the airport on my last day (which had been cancelled by the original taxi company).
